IC ThreadHi all, this is just a continuation of Fear no Gods, by Ixarys. As he is no longer able to keep updating the game, I've decided to carry on for him, with his permission. Most of the below is written by them, save for a few edits here and there.
To be clear, this thread is for rules, claiming and general discussion around the game.
IC thread is for Game Master and players' posts, plus for votes if needed.
The PrinciplesThis game functions in a similar manner to bloodline games in Dwarf Fortress. The GM will give context, and issues, and players,
one each turn, will describe the ruler, their personality and their attempts to solve issues. You will understand what I mean in the character sheet. For each rule, I will roll dice (mostly D100) to see how successful a reign is, how long it lasts, how many children and so on. The game ends if you lose all control over your lands (becoming a tributary, being on losing side of civil war / rebellion, or end of dynasty are not game ending, being conquered and absorbed is).
To have a chance to submit a ruler to the game, the players need to claim a place in the queue. Thus, when your turn is on, I'll give you a week or two to post your own ruler sheet. In case of an active player being particularly inactive, I will simply skip them after a time.
For those who are waiting, I will sometimes give polls for events.
ClaimsPlayers can claim whenever they want by a post
in the OOC. The order for the first 5 or 10 (depending of how many claims in the first days) will be randomized, next will be first come, first serve. Once the claim list is done, we'll go back to the front of the queue.
VotesSometimes, votes will happen at the end of a post to faciltate an event in-game.
Everyone can vote, players and non-players. All votes are to be made in the IC thread.
The characterYou are quite free to tailor your ruler, aside from some restrictions that I will specify at the end of a post. More generally speaking, please stay consistent with what happened with previous rulers. Also try to not make perfect characters and rulers; those are not the best material to create good stories.
RP pointsIf you want to create some roleplay texts and articles, to flesh the lore and the world of the game, you can post them in the IC thread. The lore created need to be about the past or present, and in coherence with other lore and events in the game. Though you don't need to be a player to post lore texts, you need to be a player in the queue if you want to get RP points from it. One point is granted per RP text, with one RP point giving you a +5 to a roll of your choice (for a goal, longevity, effectivness...). You can only stack up to 5 RP points, and use up to 5 RP points for your character.
